The cultural center jerusalem is a site that houses the first-century jerusalem model d. C. An incredible place for anyone who wants to learn about the history of Israel and Jewish culture.
A tour of ancient Jerusalem, a well-designed model, rich in detail and having your own very friendly and knowledgeable local guide to history, this place is worth visiting, it exudes incredible peace and learning.

Gregorian chants are performed on Sundays at this Benedictine complex, which was completed in 1641 and contains a spectacular church altar.
Benedictine monks from Bahia founded the Sao Bento Monastery in 1590, which is located in the hills of Sao Bento. Built between 1617 and 1641, the simple white exterior of the building reflects the simplicity of the time, but gives no hint of the opulence of the gilded Baroque interior. Stepping inside, and seeing the carvings, paintings, statues, and gilding literally takes your breath away. It is such a sensory overload that my brain could not take it all in! This is by far one of the most splendorous church interiors that I have ever seen--and I have seen many while visiting 140 countries. A number of the works on display were carved by one of the monks, Frei Domingos da Conceicao (1643-1718), including the main altar, and the statues of St. Benedict and St. Scholastica. One needs more time than my husband were given on our private tour of Rio to take in all the riches of this abbey church.

I have special interest for the Portuguese colonial history and, having seen Portuguese churches in Asia, Europe and South America, I think this has been one of my favourite one worldwide so far. The facade is impressive. The works inside include paintings showing scenes of Portuguese travelers which can capture so much your attention (you have to look upwards immediately after entering the nave, there is a long row of them before you reach the trancept). It is worth stay a long while to stare and explore. It is also very well kept.

This is the resting place of Brazil's last Emperor, Dom Pedro II and his family. It is a beautiful church completed only in the 1920s. A must visit when in Petropolis.
